It’s been a busy week for the postman, postwoman, UPS and FedEx drivers (forgive me if I’ve forgotten someone). Between delivering packages to my Bloggie Secret Santa recipient — so glad you liked everything, Jenny! — and bringing me my own bit of Christmas cheer, it’s been a good week so far. For all of […]
Dinner
The 9 Day Panic
9 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS?!?!?!?! Some of the questions I am you might be asking: How does time work? Why does time go by faster when you need time the most? How am I going to get my Christmas shopping done?! As you can probably guess, this year’s holiday celebrations crept up on me and I’m feeling […]
Sleepy “Timesaver”
Thank you for assuaging my holiday shopping fears! I know homemade gifts are often the way to go and I will definitely be doing some baking. But I appreciate all of the other tips, too — I’ve got a good list going now. Now if there is someone out there who is able to help […]

Eggs-actly
This weekend was eggs-actly the right combination of productivity and fun. I was glad to read that so many bloggers enjoyed themselves in San Francisco! Back in the Windy City, I enjoyed watching Northwestern beat Iowa (insert evil laugh), getting out in the unseasonably warm – we are talking 70 degrees in November! – weather, […]
